# Routing
## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**
## Principles
- **Lazy Loading**: Use `loadComponent` for standalone components and `loadChildren` for route files.
- **Functional Guards**: Use function-based guards (`CanActivateFn`) instead of class-based guards (Deprecated).
- **Component Inputs**: Enable `withComponentInputBinding()` to map route params directly to component inputs.
## Guidelines
- **Title Strategy**: Use `TitleStrategy` service to auto-set page titles from route data.
- **Resolvers**: Use `resolve` to pre-fetch critical data before navigation completes, but avoid blocking UI for too long.
## Anti-Patterns
- **Logic in Routes**: Keep route definitions clean. Move logic to Guards or Resolvers.
- **Eager Loading features**: Never direct import feature components in root routes.
